Nemo adaptability and work-rate to quell Crokes

THE seven-day delay has done little to shift the lustre off this mouth-watering final.

Revenge, anger, beauty... the 46th Munster club SFC final certainly has the billing of a Shakespearean play.

To boot, the scene is wintry but as much as we have club football royalty here, with the chill comes some reality. Irrespective of the prolonged cold snap these past couple of weeks, December conditions are likely to militate against these two fine teams providing us with quality fare. The last two finals have given us a measly average total score of 12 points.
